Installation/Upgrade Instruction

- apply installregpath.reg. Just double click and follow instructions.
- go to Hkey_local_Machine\software\Polox Group\URLProtect\URLSecretPassword and change password to any string value you want. Applying installregpath.reg sets password to defaultpassword
- go to to Hkey_local_Machine\software\Polox Group\URLProtect\TimeDiffTolerance and change TimeDiffTolerance value if difference between WEB and WMS parts is significant and 90 seconds by default is not appropriate for you.
- execute from command line: net start wmserver . this starts WMS service
- go to WMS control panel -> Properties and1 then Authentication. Disable all items and Enable only Anonymous authentication. Goto Authorization and disable all items and Enable only Authorization URL based plugin. If its enabled then installation is compete.
NOTE: If you want to change password or TimeDiffTolerance later you need to restart wms service by executing : net stop wmserver /y and net start wmserver
Troubleshooting
If something goes wrong the problem most probably is in:
- time on all WMS servers and WEB servers where URLs are signed MUST be correct and in sync with each other
- passwords on WEB server part and WMS server part must be equal.
- Authentication and Authorization configuration must be set up as described in Installation instruction
